I live in Northern B.C and I am having a hard time finding percussion caps any one know where I can find some. Also Bought a model 1858 and was told by some that it takes #11 and some say #10 caps which is it. Everything I have read is just as confusing I am guessing it takes #10. How does that work is #11 bigger or smaller than #10

Go down to a dime store and check out their cap gun ammo there is a very good cap made by Edison Giocattoli from Italy...these are toy store caps but they are very hot and very reliable......oh did I mention cheap...$1.29/144
Do not use these caps if they don't stay on the nipple after recoil ....chainfire can originate from displaced caps.
 
There are a couple of BP shooters in PG, if you gon the American Long rifle forum, look for Daryl or Taylor Sapergia, either one will help you find some.
Cheers nessy.
